Here ’s the prescribed outline .
In her big - screen adaptation of Shakespeare ’s secret thriller “ The Tempest , ” Academy Award ® –nominated Julie Taymor ( “ Across the Universe , ” “ Frida , ” “ Titus ” ) brings an original moral force to the story by change the grammatical gender of the sorcerer Prospero into the sorceress Prospera , present by Oscar winner Helen Mirren ( “ The nance ” ) . Prospera ’s journeying spiral through vengeance to pardon as she rule over a sorcerous island , cares for her young daughter , Miranda , and unleashes her business leader against shipwrecked enemy in this exciting , masterly mix of romance , tragicomedy and the supernatural .
So basically it ’s like Lost with a richer duologue minus the polar bear . The Tempest will be in theaters December 17 .
